Helping buy an electronic Dictionary

Leading-in:
Listening for what is most important:

less/not as important
less/not as significant
Not necessary to take notes:

Pre-Listening:
If you want to buy a product, what is most important to you Why
Uncle’s Requirements:
weight and size:_______________
cost:_________________________
appearance: __________________
translation:___________________
pronunciation:_________________
extra functions: _______________



Listening Part A:
Tapescript
Uncle: You know, Xiaowen is really
interested in his English course,
and he’s asked me to buy him a
new dictionary. He wants an
electronic one. He says electronic
dictionaries are more convenient
because they are so small and light.
Actually, I don’t think the size and
weight matter so much as long
as it’s not too expensive. I think these new ones cost quite a lot, and I really don’t want to spend more than 700 yuan. I think he might like one that looks very smart and modern---you know what young people are like, but I don’t think that is important. What I really want him to have is a dictionary that will translate English words into Chinese, as well as translate
Chinese words into English. Some people say that it’s better to have a dictionary that is only in English, but I think it is too early for that. Maybe later, if Xiaowen goes on to study English at university, that will be good for him, but now I think he needs a two-way dictionary. This way, he can look up words in both languages.
The other thing that I want him to have is
an electronic dictionary that provides English pronunciation, because as you know, the spelling of an English word doesn’t always tell you how the word should be pronounced. An electronic dictionary with that function will make sure he pronounces the words properly. Xiaowen says that some electronic dictionaries have a lot of extra functions
such as games and calendars, but I think those will just make the dictionary more expensive. I would prefer him to have something quite basic to use just for studies, so that he doesn’t want to play with it all the time.

Listening Part B:
Salesperson: Good morning. Can I help
you
Student: Yes. I need some information
about electronic dictionaries.
Salesperson: Certainly. Let me show you
our most recent ones. One of
the most popular models is
the Mark 204D. It is a
Tapescript
dictionary with both Chinese and English entries. The Mark 204D has over 100,000 words, over 2,000 idioms and common English expressions. It gives clear English definitions.
It also has a voice function, so that the pronunciation of words can be heard. That’s very useful for students who want to use it to practise listening and speaking, in addition to reading and writing in
English. Of course, headphones are included. The Mark 204D also has something called a ‘wildcard search function’. That means if you don’t know the exact spelling of a word in English and you just enter what you think it might be, the dictionary will guess what the word is likely to be and will show you the correct spelling, and the translation in Chinese
as well.
The latest model that we have in the shop is rather different from the Mark 204D. It’s called the Stylus Pen Model Ⅲ. This is an interesting little device. It’s in the shape of a pen, and as you can see, it’s quite small, just like a pen. You just run it over the text that you want to translate, and it reads the words or phrases and
gives you an instant translation from English into Chinese. It will also read them aloud, so you can hear the correct pronunciation. It also have over 100,000 entries. Of course, it’s more expensive than the Mark 204D. It costs 1,200 yuan whereas the Mark 204D costs 650 yuan. That model is on sale at the moment.
